Since ancient times, people have never been stingy with praise for beautiful eyes, and big pearl-like eyes tend to attract people's attention more. In recent years, double eyelid surgery has become more and more popular, and many young ladies with single eyelids are also confused: should I cut a double eyelid?What is Double Eyelid Surgery?
Double eyelid surgery, also known as double blepharoplasty, is a procedure that changes the structure of the eyelid tissue to reshape the eyelid to form a new upper eyelid crease. From an aesthetic point of view, the shape of the upper eyelid with a heavy eyelid makes people's eyes more emotional expression and bright eyes, giving people a sense of flexibility, brightness and delicateness. Single eyelids tend to give people a monotonous, bloated, and lifeless feeling, and in order to change this deficiency, the method of surgical formation of double eyelids was born. Blepharoplasty is currently the most widely performed and most popular plastic surgery.
What is the shape of the double eyelids?
1. Open fan type.
The upper eyelid crease starts at the inner corner of the eye and slowly exits the edge of the eye outward and upward, narrowing to widening, like the shape of an open fan. It is the most common form of double eyelids.
It is suitable for people with slightly upturned eyes and close eyebrow eye spacing, goose egg face and melon seed face are more suitable, and it is more suitable for oriental women.
2. Parallel type.
The double eyelids are basically parallel to the upper eyelid margin. The double eyelid line is designed so that the outer side does not exceed the outer corner of the eye.
It is suitable for women with large eyes, high eyebrow arches, distant eyebrows and eyes, and thinner upper eyelids.
3. Flat fan type.
The shape is between a fan and a parallel shape, and the double eyelid crease spreads out from the inner corner of the eye, and the biggest difference from the open fan is that the inner double eyelid crease of the open fan is within the inner corner of the eye.
It is suitable for people with a good eye foundation, no epicanthal folds, and close eyebrow and eye space.
4. Crescent type.
The double eyelid line is closer to the eyelid margin in the medial and lateral canthals (on both sides), and is widest at **, and the double eyelid line is curved.
It is suitable for people with short palpebral fissure length and a rounder face, pure and lovely.
5. European-style big double.
The double eyelid crease is wider, and the eyebrows and double eyelid crease are narrower. It is suitable for people with prominent eyebrow bones and sunken eye sockets, which appear to have three-dimensional and deep eye sockets, and have higher requirements for eye bones, which is not very suitable for Asian women.
What is the right width for the double eyelid?
The width of the double eyelid is the distance from the upper eyelid margin on the perpendicular line of the pupil to the double eyelid line. People with large palpebral fissures and thin eyelids are suitable for wider, heavy eyelids (7-7.)5mm）。People with thick eyelids and small palpebral fissures are suitable for narrower double eyelids (6-6.).5mm）。For men, double eyelids can be made with a width of 4-5mm. East Asians have an eyebrow-eye distance (the straight-line distance from the upper edge of the eyebrow to the middle of the pupil) at 2About 5cm, if the distance between the eyebrows and eyes is narrow, the width of the double eyelid should be narrow but not wide.
What are the methods of double eyelid surgery?
1. Thread embedding method.
The operation is simple, the postoperative response is light, the recovery is fast, and the effect is not good, it can be repaired, and it is easy to be accepted by the recipient.
Applicable people: It is suitable for narrow people, such as young people with thin eyelids, less orbital fat, and no epicanthal folds.
2. Incision method.
It can regulate and change the organizational structure of the upper eyelid at all levels, and can solve many complex problems existing in the eyelid, such as laxity of the upper eyelid, inversion of the eyelashes, bloated upper eyelid, ptosis of orbital fat, laxity of the orbital septum, and carina of the lateral superior orbital margin. The incision method creates a double eyelid that is stable and long-lasting, with a three-dimensional effect.
Suitable for: It is suitable for single eyelids in various conditions, especially for people with sagging, bloated upper eyelids and swollen eye bubbles, which can open the corners of the eyes at the same time, correct ptosis, increase the strength of the levator palpebrae muscle, and can also be used to repair the shallow and shallow double eyelids by thread lift and incision. It is currently suitable for all types of upper eyelid double eyelid surgery.
3. Three-point method.
The double eyelids formed by the "three-point method" are more durable and stable than those of the one-point and two-point methods, and because the three points of the double eyelid line are fixed separately, the appearance of the double eyelids formed after surgery is natural and realistic, and there will be no defects on the inner and outer sides of the double eyelid line.
Not suitable for people with complex double eyelids, hypertrophy and ptosis.
Do you want to open the inner corner of the eye?
Medial canthal fold refers to a vertical ** fold in front of the medial canthal angle, which covers the lacrimal mons of the medial canthal angle (the oval body of the inner canthal like red flesh), the mild medial canthal fold can not be treated, and the moderate to severe medial canthal fold blocks part of the field of vision, so that people with double eyelids can only form a "half double", which can be corrected by surgery, and the postoperative can not only achieve the effect of the loss of the fold, the tear mons is exposed, and the effect of large eyelid fission, and the horizontal proportion of the face is also more in line with the "three courts and five eyes", but people with scar constitution should be cautious about the operation.
There is no epicanthal fold.
Mild epicanthal folds.
Moderate epicanthal folds.
Do you want to do levator muscles?
When looking straight ahead, the upper eyelid margin covering the upper edge of the cornea for 1 to 2 mm is the normal palpebral fissure height, and if the occlusion exceeds 2 mm, ptosis is diagnosed. In mild cases, the eyes only look dull, and in severe cases, it covers part or all of the pupils, which makes it easy to raise the eyes, likes to raise eyebrows, and even affects the visual function, so it is recommended to improve it through surgery as soon as possible. The general ptosis can be improved by shortening the levator palpebrae superioris muscle, that is, the tissue around the eyelids is separated by surgical incision, and then the levator palpebrae muscle is cut off, and the length of the levator palpebrae palpebrae muscle can be shortened, so that the ptosis of the levator palpebrae muscle can be improved. Severe ptosis may require frontal fascial flap suspension or superior conjunctival vault combined with fascial sheath suspension (CFS). Levator surgery is done in conjunction with incisional double eyelid surgery.
Can the large and small eyes be corrected?
In fact, many people have different eye sizes, some cases are mild and almost invisible, while others are very noticeable. There are two reasons for the big and small eyes, the first is that the eyelids on both sides are not the same degree of sagging, which can be corrected by differentiated peeling, and the second is the ptosis of the upper eyelid of the unilateral eye, the easiest way is to make the smaller side of the eye as the levator muscle, and try to achieve the unity of the eye shape.
How to make a beautiful double eyelid with swollen eyes?
Many sisters with swollen eye bubbles obviously painted eyeshadow, but they couldn't see it when they opened their eyes, and their eyelashes were very long, but they only saw half of the eyelashes. In fact, it is because the upper eyelid has a large amount of tissue and a high content of fat and muscle. It is difficult to apply double eyelids to the swollen bubble eye, so you can only do a full incision of the double eyelids, and remove sufficient postorbital septal fat, postorbicularis oculi fat, i.e., the roof layer, and premeisal fat during the operation, and if there is also orbicularis oculi hypertrophy, you also need to thin the orbicularis oculi muscle. Due to the large overall curvature of the swollen eye bubbles, the width of the double eyelids will be visually magnified, so the design of the double eyelids should be narrower as much as possible, so as to avoid the formation of a fleshy feeling.
How to care for double eyelid surgery?
Post-operative care includes incision cleaning, dietary control, and accelerated swelling reduction. The incision dressing is removed 36-48 hours after surgery, the incision is cleaned twice a day, the sutures are removed 6-7 days after the operation, and the incision can only be exposed to tap water 24 hours after the suture removal, and the upper eyelids are properly cold compressed for the first two days after the operation, which can reduce swelling and relieve pain, and then apply hot compresses for a week. Oral anti-swelling drugs are started for 2-4 weeks after surgery. Avoid smoking, alcohol, spicy food, avoid wearing contact lenses or glasses, and try not to stay up late for two weeks after surgery.
